When I spotted the eye shadow palettes at my local Ulta, it was love at first sight. My only problem was do I go with the tried and true, boy next door, in my neutral wheelhouse Admire Me? Or do I go for the exciting, foreign guy with the amazing accent, out-of-my-comfort-zone Entice Me? Well since I have approximately 4,392 eye shadows in shades similar to Admire Me, I decided to go with something a bit more inspiring and bold and chose Entice Me. Entice Me has several truly stunning shades:

From top right:

Icy Aqua Blue – this has a lovely satin finish with a buttery texture and a nice sheen.

Shimmery Navy – this is simply gorgeous. A deep navy shade with light blue sparkle. it makes a stunning eyeliner.

Icy Pink – again, this has a satin finish and is buttery soft and smooth with a nice sheen.

Purple Grey – Grurple? another striking shade. If I had to pick the best shade of the palette (please don’t make me!) this would be it. Depending on the light it can appear purple, taupe or mauve and has silver sparkle.

Shimmery Taupe – beautiful taupe with a cool lavender undertone. This has the most sparkle of all the shades and I did get some fallout. I apply it wet to avoid the fallout and deepen the color a bit.

The stained glass packaging is hip AND practical as well. It does a good job of keeping the shadows separate.

Here is a look I did using the shimmery taupe on the lid, the gruple in the crease and the deep navy as liner.

I’m so impressed with this palette. The quality of the shadows in superb–soft and so buttery they feel like a cream shadow but they don’t crease! I would expect to pay much more than $34 for this quality. I also like the combination of colors–there are some neutrals and some jewel tones to add interest. Although I generally wear warm colors better, these cool shades work very well so don’t be afraid it you are warm-toned. The taupe shade is very shimmery which might be a turn off to some but I would encourage you to try one of these palettes anyway. Applying the sparkly shades wet virtually erased any fallout.

Prime Beauty Grade: A- (the minus is for the fallout). You just need to decide if you’ll go with Admire Me or the new and exciting, British accented Jude Law look alike…er, I mean the Entice Me palette 🙂

I hate to differ with you, but these shadows are definitely cool toned, while the Admire palette is warm toned. Navy, pink, aqua and purple are composed of colours which all have blue undertones, i.e., cool. It’s almost impossible to create a “warm” purple because it’s composed of so much blue. Pink can be warm but it needs a lot of yellow, much more than this one has. Navy is, by definition, cool – it’s blue! Aqua can be warmed up but the most it gets is neutral. I have 35 years of colour experience as a MUA. Most of the cosmetics companies get this wrong, too, so it`s not surprising that consumers are confused. Love your blog!
